The 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 has arrived, equipped with a 4.0-liter boxer engine that delivers 502 horsepower and 331 lb.-ft. of torque.
In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Porsche is making waves by unveiling not one, but two versions of the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 simultaneously for the first time ever. Choose between the Weissach Package for the 911 GT3 or the Touring Package equipped with the Lightweight Package (Leichtbau).
The new 911 GT3 takes a page from its high-octane sibling, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, with a clever tweak to its suspension dynamics. By positioning the front ball joint of the lower trailing arm lower on the front axle, it introduces an anti-dive effect that curbs pitching when braking. This critical adjustment helps maintain a steady aerodynamic balance even under intense braking, a crucial feature for mastering corner entries at breakneck speeds on the track.
Customization is at the forefront with these new GT3 variants, offering bespoke packages and cutting-edge options that let enthusiasts tailor their ride to their own style and driving desires like never before.
What’s new for the Porsche 992.2 GT3?
For the first time, the legendary Weissach Package is joining the GT3 lineup, allowing adrenaline junkies to tweak and tune their rides for ultimate track domination with even more customizable features. Both the standard and Touring Package models feature a new aerodynamic design, including a reimagined front diffuser and modified spoiler lip that enhance downforce and optimize airflow.
The 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 also goes lighter with silver-colored aluminum wheels that reduce weight by 3.3 lbs for sharper handling. Opt for the Weissach Package on the GT3 or the Lightweight (Leichtbau) Package for the GT3 with the Touring Package, and you can equip your ride with magnesium wheels that cut about 20 lbs off the scale. Plus, the new 40 Ah lithium-ion lightweight battery is a game-changer, trimming about 9.9 lbs compared to the standard 60 Ah battery of its predecessor.
Inside, optional lightweight bucket seats crafted from carbon fiber promise both comfort and performance. For those choosing the Touring Package, there’s even an option to add newly available rear seats, combining sportiness with practicality.
- New 40 Ah lithium-ion lightweight battery
- For the first time ever, the upper section of the 911 GT3’s dashboard is finished in anti-glare Race-Tex, enhancing visibility during high-performance driving.

2025 Porsche 911 GT3 Packages
Porsche has dialed up the customization options for the new 911 GT3, including the debut of the Weissach Package. This package transforms the vehicle with CFRP components such as the anti-roll bar, coupling rods, and shear panel on the rear axle, not to mention the roof and side plates of the rear wing. Even the exterior mirror casings and the air blades at the front get this ultra-lightweight treatment. Inside, the upgrade continues with additional leather and Race-Tex upholstery. CFRP also makes its way to the door handles and storage nets, streamlining the interior for weight efficiency.
For the 911 GT3 equipped with the Touring Package, Porsche introduces the Lightweight (Leichtbau) Package. This option features a CFRP roof painted to match the car’s exterior color and extends the same material to the vehicle’s structural elements at the rear. Magnesium wheels and lightweight door panels further reduce weight, sharpening the car’s agility. A distinctly shortened gear lever from the 911 S/T complements the six-speed GT Sport gearbox, and a “Leichtbau” plaque positioned prominently near the gearshift confirms the package’s dedication to performance through weight reduction.
Interior: New bucket seat with folding seatback
Upgrade your ride with the new optional lightweight bucket seats in the 911 GT3, crafted from CFRP and featuring a foldable backrest for enhanced utility and comfort. These seats are engineered for both safety and performance, incorporating an integrated thorax airbag, electric height adjustment, and manual longitudinal adjustment. For those chilly days, a three-stage seat heater comes standard. Tailored for the track enthusiast, a segment of the headrest padding can be removed to accommodate a helmet, improving ergonomics during high-speed laps. The backrest’s folding function offers better access to the space behind it and to the newly available rear seats in the 911 GT3 with Touring Package. For a different seating experience, opt for the 18-way Adaptive Sports Seats Plus, offering another level of comfort and adaptability.
